@danielfruth, both skills work the same way, so if you use one of the two Alexa skills - TRIGGERcmd or TRIGGER command, then you'll have to say one of these:
Alexa, ask TRIGGERcmd to run X
Alexa, ask TRIGGER command to run X
If you use IFTTT, it's a more complicated setup, but you get to say something like this:
Alexa, trigger X
I told kent-scherler he could use the TRIGGER command skill because it does avoid saying TRIGGER C M D.
...so just for the record and to complete the loop.
@Russ just IM'd me and resolved the issue.
Amazing service and phenomenal customer journey
In brief, to reboot/restart your Windows 10 PC from an iOS Home Screen button click, do the following:
Install TriggerCMD Agent
Sign up/in to IFTTT
For the If bit: select Button Widget
For the Then bit: select webhooks and enter the following:
i. URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1
ii. METHOD: POST
iii. CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded
iv. BODY: token=XYZ
Notes:
There are spaces in "Reboot in 10 seconds"
My computer name is "R1"
<obviously <XYZ> is my token
To add the button widget to your iOS home screen:
Tap the share icon (square with the up arrow)
Tap "Add to Home Screen"
Tap "Add"
Enjoy
@dramradhel, I wonder if you didn't see the Instructions link on the left because you were logged in using a cell phone browser?
That navigation panel is hidden when you use a cell phone browser.
@jgodney, I'll answer each question by number:
Did you enable parameters on the command you ran from Zapier? Also did notepad open, or did it give you a prompt like this?
Yes - multiple parameters are separated by a space.
No - you can send an unlimited number of parameters, separated by spaces. Actually batch files can accept more than 9 too.
From here I see, "On computers running Microsoft Windows XP or later, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters"
@ryan-roberts, you can add a line to that commands.json file like this, to add a command you want to be able to run:
{"trigger":"apt update","command":"apt-get -y update","ground":"background","voice":"update"},
If you find that your changes go away as soon as you save the file, then there's likely some bad json formatting in the file you tried to save. The most common problem is you have a comma on the last line.
@russ ooohhhh see? knew it was a noob question haha unfortunately I do not... Yet!! But now I have a new goal. Thank you so much for the quick response, I can at least rest easy knowing the solution now
yeah some googling found it already, tnx for the quick response.
Im very noobish at this all and most of it is just copy past and reading.
What i want is the following, tru smartthings with a virtual button to start a playlist but also to stop the playlist if the virtual sensor switch to off.
Ive made it so far that i can start a playlist and send the audio tru a spotify connect speaker as so
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Comandline = "C:\Users\Peke\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe"
WScript.sleep 9000
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("spotify:user:1131846872:playlist:3ztoPH7GPeH9b898dIXcvc")
WScript.sleep 5000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{s}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{RIGHT}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^{d}"
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB 4}", True
WScript.sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "+{ENTER}"
but what i really also want if the virtual button goes to off that the playlist stops and the sound out of my spotify connect speaker stops playing.
Is this possible, if so can you point me in the right direction?
